The State of So Ra is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.795 billion So Rans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong So Ran economy, worth 759 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 64,391 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. So Ra's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

So Ra is ranked 123,705^th in the world and 5^th in Surrey for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
